05 Oct 2024 In Maine’s 2024 election, there are three ways to vote:
Vote Absentee by Mail
Now-Nov 5
- Request your absentee ballot (before Oct. 31 but we suggest before Oct. 18) by completing an online form here or by calling your Town Clerk (see below).
- Once received, mark your ballot, place it in its envelope, sign the back (REQUIRED)
- Return it by mail (the Secretary of State’s Office recommends to post it by Friday, Oct. 25, In Maine, being postmarked on Nov. 5 is not acceptable.)
OR - Return it to your town clerk (see below for hours and drop box locations) before 8 PM on Election Day, Nov. 5.
PROS
Vote Absentee in Person (Early Voting)
Oct 7-31
- Stop in at your Town Office during open hours (see below) to request an absentee ballot
- Fill it out on the spot and return it to your clerk. (Or take it with you and return it later.)
- You can do this even if you’ve already requested an absentee ballot because the clerk will update your voting record so you can only vote once.

If you have questions, including, but not limited to voter registration, how to complete an absentee ballot, how to mark your ballot in the Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) races, and more, we suggest you visit the League of Women Voters of Maine’s “How To Vote in Maine” page.
Need to Register for the first time or in a new town? No problem in Maine. You may register to vote at your town office at the same time you pick up your ballot or on Election Day when you vote. If you want to register online (NEW) or by mail, the deadline is Oct. 15.
Be an informed voter! In addition to federal, state, county elections (and some town elections and questions), there are 5 questions on the 2024 Maine ballot. Here’s a link to a video presentation made at an LCDC meeting.

Track your absentee ballot no matter how it was requested, on the Secretary of State’s website here.
